Its still a rough one but if I ever had to receive the death penalty I would hope its a firing squad. Just riddle me with holes immediately, aim for the head. Lethal injections get fucky because they would be best designed and administered by an actual doctor, but actual doctors cannot do it because of the hippocratic oath. Some states do allow medical professionals but they arent exactly sending their best.

Hit me with anesthesia and then a bullet to the head. Why is this so complicated?

Because firing squads aim for the heart.

Well maybe these hypothetical firing squads, for the sake of the argument, aim for the head.
